I'm appealing to the ones here who've been successful in helping their other half make the switch.

Over the last nearly five years, I've been completely analogue free. My Mrs on the other hand has not adopted the vaping life as I have. She's been smoking for over 25 yrs, and told the kids this was the new year that she would quit. (it didn't happen)

It boggles my mind, I went from 1.5PAD to zero the day I got my first crappy 510 bridge atty and batts in the mail, the stuff available nowadays is so much better. Good equipment and properly made and regularly rewicked attys are not good enough to quell the urges to smoke, what else can a man do?

I fully realize, to quit the analogues, you need to really want to quit. I was ready, and I am guessing theres no way to convince one who's not to make the switch. For now, I'm hoping the it'll be a gentle conversion at best. (It's been a few years of this so far, when do they make the full switch?)

For someone that went full turkey (as opposed to cold turkey) it's hard to understand.

Tell your story here, it just may help.

Thanks fellow ECF'ers.

I'm pretty much in the same position. Would love for her not only to quit but to get into vaping with me as a hobby, I'm fully immersed in it, from advocacy to diy and everything related...

I think after xmas bills are paid, I'm going to get her a pink ego one mini, I have a subtank mini on a istick 40w TC always charged and sitting in front of her on her desk set up for tootle, yet if she does decide to ever take a vape she still reaches for the original Ego-T I got her 11 months ago when I got mine :X

I've converted 3 smokers in this household...

The basic concept of my method? Do absolutely nothing but go about your normal day.

If someone lives with you and sees you day in and day out they will eventually have one bad day where they are just fed up with smoking for one reason or another and ask you for help.

Never push them to do anything!

Simply help when they ask for it when they don't you don't even mention the subject and go about your daily routine. Believe me it works, you may not notice but when people see your success overtime and see that you have zero interest in ever going back they think to themselves " well it worked for him/her, maybe it can work for me too".
